1. Has anyone set asterisk up successfully with kernel 2.6 and running it as a user as opposed to root? - So far I have noticed that because of the udev file system, I have to manually chown /dev/zap /dev/sound et all to asterisk user upon boot up in rc.local. Is there a cleaner way of doing this?
Yes, read the udev documentation. You can control the permissions of any device node it creates using simple entries in its configuration files.
2. I've also noticed that in rc.local I had to add a sleep 10 statement after inserting the modules to ensure that /dev/zap was created before running asterisk. Else asterisk would fail. Mind you this is running on a k6-350 with 320 megs of ram, so it could be the speed of the box, just wondering if anyone else noticed this.
True. Device node creation is not synchronous with module loading in 2.6, the way it was in 2.4. You should not use a sleep statement, though, you should use a loop that waits until /dev/zap is created, at least for now. To do this properly requires using hotplug-driven scripts, but Asterisk is not currently capable of dealing with that.
